Just looking for info on who is shooting 600 spine arrows. What is your set up; type of bow, bow #'s at your draw length, arrow length and weight up front?
I shoot them.. They fly great full lengthe with 75 or 100 grain tips out of my 42# predator recurve. Its 60" 42@28 and I draw 28 or 28.5
I gave that bow to my dad and got a 45 pound predator. I cant use the 600's any more. I had to order some 500's which are the same as 3555's if you were wondering.
So basically shoot them with 43 or 44 pounds or less.
all i shoot is 600 spine arrows out of my 45# longbows.... i have a 27.5 draw ..... cut my arrows to 28 1/4" and have 185 up front....Ive shot the goldtip 1535, the ce predator 20/40, and the easton epic 600.... arrow weight is 425-450 grains.
Out of my Red Wing Hunter (48#) but only shooting 45# at my 27" draw. I use a 200 gr. point and they fly like darts. The nice thing about the heavy point is that they are heavy enough to hunt with..
I shoot GT Entrada Ultralight 600 out of a R/D longbow 45#@28(42#@27 my draw) at full length with 145 gr. point.They bareshafted and fly just great for me.
My son shoots the Predator II .600's in his 44# recurve. The .600's seem to work real well for bows in the low 40's, or bows in the mid to high 40's if they are shy of center, or used at the shorter draw lengths.
didnt even know they made 600 spine!
I shoot a super shrew that is 43# at 25" which is my draw length. The Shrew is 1/8" shy of center. Could I make these work?

I would think a long 600 spine with a fair amount of weight up front is what you would need.
Clay Hills, I'm afraid you'd struggle with them being on the stiff side between the 1/8" shy of center cut and the 25" draw. At best you'd likely need to leave them long and pack some real weight on the point end to make them spine properly.
Don't despair there are some new, even lower spined carbons coming down the pike very soon! :thumbsup:
Thanks Guys! I like carbon on my heavier recurve. I shoot POC on the shrew and look forward to those low spined carbons coming.
Bill
The new Easton Carbon-one,might be just the ticket for you Clay hills bill. They will be offered in spines ranging from 600. to 1150. spine.
I shoot Easton Redline 600's and Gold Tip Ultralight 600's from all my bow's with good bare shafting results with some slight tweaks in shaft length and point weight from one bow to the next. But I draw 29" not your 25" draw I missed that part of the question.

Its my understanding the Easton CarbonOne shafts are not available with inserts...only glue in target points??
Anyone shot the new Victory 600's that use standard carbon size inserts?
Clay Hills, If you shot the Gold Tip 1535 arrows you would need to leave them 28" long and shoot them with 100 grain inserts and 125 grain points. I would bet they would fly great for you out of your Shrew.
That will rule out the CarbonOne's for me then. Thanks for the info Mr.Jenkins. I herd from a sales person at Lancaster archery that Easton has discontinued the Redline shaft. Does anyone no if this is the case? The Redline is still listed on the Easton web site.
Thanks
Yes, unfortunately Easton has discontinued the Redline shaft
I shoot Gold Tip Entrade 600s and the Gold Tip 1535s (also .600 spine) out of my 40# A & H.
I use .600's with my 54 lb Thunderstick Mag with perfect results. 29" & 145 tips work great.
I have ordered somee 600 spines for my 55lb longbow. It is not center shot and I am finding that 500's are too stiff even with a lot of weight up front. I will let you guys know how they work out.
do the 600's take standard carbon inserts, or are they smaller ID
goldtip 1535s take the standard inserts ....all of the rest of them are smaller id....
thanks
Here's a list of the 600 spine shafts, that I'm aware of that accept standard carbon size inserts
15/35 GT Traditional wood
600 GT Entrada
600 Victory Vforce
600 Easton Epic ST
also, Carbon Tech offer a couple different grades of shafts with a 650 spine.
one of the other 600 spined carbons that has me really intrigued...is the new carbon express heritage 75...... again smaller diameter, but heavier weight per inch.....
Rod...im pretty sure the easton epic 600 is a smaller diameter..at least the ones i have are... not sure if theyve changed or not.
Jacob...your right the Epics are smaller...I was thinking more along the lines of standard as in the inserts glued internally in the shaft and you can use standard screw in points and broadheads. I know better than to post in a rush :)
I just set up some ST Epic 600's for my DAS Master 48@27. They are very nice shafts, and shoot like a dream!
I made these up light for 3D season (300 grains total). They shoot straight and fast.
I could shoot them but I like heavy arrows so I use .500 with 200grains up front.
I use 600 spine on a selfbow that's 50 pounds at 28 inches. They work really well with 100 grain bear razors.
I shoot GT entrada Ultralight .600. I have a modern mildly R/D longbow. I draw 29". My bow delivers 38# at 29".
Arrows are 30"(full lenght)I use a standard insert (14.6 grains) and a 125 grains fieldpoint. 4 inch helical fletching and wrap. I just ordered the GT weightsystem with wrench because I have the impression sahfts are a little bit to stiff.
dutchman....the gt weight system...or just buy some brass inserts to soften the spine...i bet another 50 grains up front will soften up.
I can't get the brass inserts over here! I have to order them in the US, which makes them way too expensive!
Flying Dutchman, we ship international at very low rates. A dozen 100 gr inserts would be about $5 shipping to the Netherlands. :D
Ok, that is good to know SlowBow. Mostly however I make one bigger order, such as shafts, feathers, tips and so on. As soon as we get over the $25,- we have top pay an incredible amount of duties! (I really hate that!)
Thanks guys for all the input.
Tim, I think I will see if I can get a test shaft in the 1535 GT and see how it does until the lighter sppines become available. I have the 100gr inserts and a bunch of different point weights so we will see.

The Beman MFX 600s come with 75/50 inserts plus I'm pretty sure the 100 gr. brass inserts that 3rivers sales for the Beman shaft will fit in them.
